I tried something new this week, a letter bin, and she loved it! I did something similar with Krash years ago, and thought she might enjoy it. It takes a bit of work to gather it all, but it really helps emphasize the letter and the sounds. I grabbed many items that begin with T and letters too. Then when the week began, I challenged Krash to find little things that also began with T, as a review for him. {he added a Transformer, train, tape, and pretend tomato}.

We explored the letter T box almost daily!

We love our Alphabet Soup set! Here we were going over the letter T items as she dropped them in the can.

By far, the MOST played with toy this week ~ Interlox. We share some of our toys in a bin rotation system with friends and these have been “gone” for awhile. When the bin returned, I added them to her shelf and she was immediately drawn to them. Here’s her airplane…

She told me this was a platypus {yes, she is a Phineas and Ferb fan thanks to her brothers}.
